Hi folks,
CPU - AMD Athlon64 X2 AM2 512Kx2 3,800
Mobo - ASUS M2N-E with onboard NIC, nVidia chipsets
Vedio Card - ASUS EN7600 with nVidia chipsets
I have been searching around for a 64 bit OS to run as server. The
OS will
be easy to install, rigid and w/o driver problem. In the last 3
weeks I
have been testing 64 bit FreeBSD 6.2, archlinux 0.8, slamd64 11.0,
CentOS
4.4, etc. All of them have nvidia driver problem, FreeBSD being
the worst.
I'll install X and Xfce-4.2 as desktop. They won't start at boot.
The only
reason for me retaining X is for communication via Internet. I'm not
feeling comfortable on running text browse such as Elinks, etc.
Also on
Internet browsing the websites complain requesting me to run GUI
browser.
Please advise will OpenBSD serve my need. TIA
OpenBSD helps those who help themselves.

Your best option is to download a copy of cd40.iso from one of the
FTP mirrors and boot up the install process. Choose the shell option
and run 'dmesg' to see if all of your hardware is supported (compare
against the supported hardware list in the aforementioned link). If
it is, go ahead and complete the installation and then purchase a
real CD from the project.
